This project is geolocating the history and future of music… Map markers identify cultural regions, historic locations and venues where musical art forms originated and were incubated. This map will become the multimedia lens for the exploration of each art form.
Music Origins Project aims to remove the chronological and geographic barriers faced by music aficionados, students and travelers seeking to learn about the origins of various musical genre. The site/blog is a searchable, index of the cultural origins of musical art forms along with geo-located multimedia primary sources music and crowdsourced commentary. This beta site has been created to pilot test the concept, as we iterate and improve the database.
